Because the two designs sit differently against the gingival soft tissue, they may be experienced differently during wear.\n* Participants are patients already wearing one trimming-line design on one dental arch and the other on the contralateral arch; each participant thus serves as their own control. After a minimum of four weeks of wear, participants complete a 20-item questionnaire once, rating the frequency of defined oral experiences for the maxillary and mandibular arch separately on a three-point ordinal scale (0 = none, 1 = occasional, 2 = frequent).\n* The questionnaire is anonymous; the design worn on each arch is identified from which of two identical forms a participant completes. Responses for the two designs are compared within each participant.
